Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Stretch

There is a place of ‘stretch’ between natural and supernatural, your ability and Mine. Look out for the areas in your life where I am teaching you to stretch beyond the familiar. To partner with Me in this area is to partner with miracles and healing! 

Gideon was told that through him, Israel would defeat the Midianites. In obedience, he gathered 32,000 men. I began to stretch his faith, telling him to let all those who were fearful leave. Only 10,000 remained! I continued, asking him to remove all those who were not battle ready. Now only 300 men were left! Finally, I gave him instructions to defeat the enemy using only trumpets, empty jars and torches! Gideon still chose to not shrink back but stretch and consequently supernatural doors of deliverance and victory were opened not only for his family but an entire nation! 

Today,  will you partner with Me in the stretch?  I want to raise your expectations of what I can do in and through you, for the truth is I am able to do immeasurably more than you could hope or imagine!

A Prayer to Pray: Dear Lord, I repent for the times I have shrunk back and not stepped out in faith. Today, I lay down fear and choose to partner with You when You ask me to stretch. I ask that as I do, You will open up heavenly doors of victories, miracles, and healing in my life! Amen

And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.

Hebrews 11:6 (ESV)

Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,

Ephesians 3:20 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Direction of Travel

My Child,

Do you know the direction of your travel?

Imagine two trains. For a long time they travel next to each other. They stop at the same stations where people enter and exit the trains. It seems that both trains are heading in the same direction. However, at some point, one of them will turn right and the other one left.

My Child, where is the train you are sitting in heading to?

Are you on board the train that is led by My Spirit? This train will stop at stations where you will be refreshed with joy, hope, peace, love and greater intimacy with Me.

Or, are you sitting on the train led by the ways of the world? This train stops frequently too but whenever it does it is all about your own pleasures, your own will, your own wisdom and strength.

My Child, it’s not too late to change trains. 

Which train do you wish to travel on?

Application:

Ask Holy Spirit to show you the train you are travelling on. Ask Him to show you areas in your life where you have partnered with compromise, where you follow your own wisdom, your own ways and your own will. Take some time to repent for partnering with independence and then submit those areas under the Lordship of the King.

Seek the Kingdom of God[a] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Matthew 6:33 (NLT)
Footnotes
[a] 6:33 Some manuscripts do not include of God

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart;  do not depend on your own understanding.

6 Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NLT)

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you.

Psalm 32:8 (AMP)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – Stay Awake

This is a season of new birth and the fulfilment of long awaited promise in the Body of Christ. Now is not the time to slumber, but to be alert in the spirit and to watch and pray.  I need you to join Me in protecting that which I am birthing on the earth.  

Guard your heart. 

Keep short accounts. 

Bring your worries and concerns to Me.  

Lions devour the weak, the young and the stragglers.  Do not isolate yourself but keep faith in the company of believers and pray.  Submit to Me, resist the enemy, and he will flee.

My Word never returns to Me void. You are carrying plans and dreams that I have given you.  Do I bring to the point of delivery and not give birth?  Stay awake, keep watch and pray and you will see the fulfilment you long for!

Activation: Spend time in prayer seeking Holy Spirit for direction on how you can partner with what God is releasing in this season. Is there a prayer watch you can take on? Are there specific people He would like you to pray for? Where does He want you to be “staying awake”? Take note of the direction you receive and action it.

With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all [a]God’s people.

Ephesians 6:18 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Ephesians 6:18 Lit the saints.

Shall I bring to the point of breaking forth and not cause birth?” says Yahweh. “Or shall I who causes birth shut the womb?” says your God.

Isaiah 66:9 (LSB)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – The Time Is Now

Over these past days many of My people have felt confined. 

Sometimes it’s been a place, other times it has seemed as if you had been tied with ropes, chains and shackles.

But I, the Lord your God, am coming to set you free. I am breaking off the physical and mental constraints that have made you think that containment was the only way to live. It is a lie. 

I have come to set the captives free. I have come to give you life in abundance. Even serving Me should not be a heavy duty but a whirlwind that takes you higher where laughter abounds.

So come fly with Me, come to Mount Zion, don’t remain in what deceitfully seems to be a soothing, comfortable place.

Stop lingering, the time is now!

Activation: In prayer, repent and break all partnership with any lie of the enemy that would keep you stuck in your comfort zone. Then take off your chains and shackles as a prophetic act. Shake off anything that feels still attached and jump up and down to symbolise your new freedom.

The Spirit of Adonai Elohim is upon me,
because Adonai has anointed me to announce good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted; to proclaim freedom to the captives, to let out into light those bound in the dark;

Isaiah 61:1 (CJB)

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV)

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering,

Hebrews 12:22 (ESV)

Lion Bites – Global Prophetic Alliance – New Shoots

My beloved,

Oh how wonderful it is to dwell with you but do you recognise what I am doing within you? I have been planting new seeds in the soil of your heart and now they are beginning to grow. Look in the spirit and see them. These are the seeds of new gifts and skills, the seeds of new understanding, the seeds of new passions. I am asking you now to come and nurture these with Me. Steward what you see growing and explore these new abilities. Use them well and give them room to grow and be firmly established within you.

Activation: Look in the Spirit to see the new shoots that God has been growing wthin you. Ask Him what they are. Spend time with Holy Spirit asking Him how He wants you to steward and develop these things in order to grow to maturity.

13 Keep and follow the pattern of sound teaching (doctrine) which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 

14 Guard [with greatest care] and keep unchanged, the treasure [that precious truth] which has been entrusted to you [that is, the good news about salvation through personal faith in Christ Jesus], through [the help of] the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

2 Timothy 1:13-14 (AMP)

10 Just as each one of you has received a special gift [a spiritual talent, an ability graciously given by God], employ it in serving one another as [is appropriate for] good stewards of God’s multi-faceted grace [faithfully using the diverse, varied gifts and abilities granted to Christians by God’s unmerited favor]. 

11 Whoever speaks [to the congregation], is to do so as one who speaks the oracles (utterances, the very words) of God. Whoever serves [the congregation] is to do so as one who serves by the strength which God [abundantly] supplies, so that in all things God may be glorified [honored and magnified] through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 4:10-11 (AMP)
